Look Ma, One Hand!

Hors d'oeuvres: easy-to-eat while standing with a drink

The latest trend in catering seems to be one-handed fare. “It’s easier to socialize if you don’t have to put your glass down,” says Hannah Gorman, proprietor of Revel With DinnerThyme. The Stamford-based catering firm offers both sit-down dinners and passed or self-serve, one-handers. Some of the most popular lunch and dinner options include tacos. “One- and two-bite tacos are all the rage. They can be filled with short ribs, fried avocado, fish, pulled pork—even Korean chicken,” the mother of three says.
